65TH ANN NIVERSARY OF GEN. u. S.
GRANTS BIRTH DAY IN
ATHENS, TENN.
GRANT MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY

ATHENS. TENN April 2S, 's7.
- Editors Z tttzcn As your Buncombite
hasn't given you any dots from Athens
for some time, he.thinks this splendid
opportunity to put in" The students
of the University here last year petition,
ed the Facllty to give the 9th Of April
as holiday, as that was the birth day
OF General Grant. in memory of who the
University had been named. But the
Faculty declined to grant the request.
The students became somewhat indign.
ant at this and almost every student
positively refused t. attend chapel in
the m0rniug or recitations during the
day. This caused considerable excite
ment throughout the country and was
known as the famous strike at Grant
Memorial So it seems as if the strike
had been etfectivs. This year it was
announced several months before hand
that the 9th April would be inaugural
ed as holiday in memory ofhim whose
name the institution bears. The morn
ing OF the 9th dawned delightful and
before 10 o'clock more than one thous-
and people had arrived from the country,
and by train. Among these were at
least two hundred battle Scared veterans
who had barred their bosoms to the storm
of battle and persecution during the dark
ordeals of the late war; At IL O'Clock
the people thronged into the University
Chapel where thy were entertained oy
appropriate music and patriotic speeches
by DIR. Spence, Capt. VIM. Rule, of
Knoxville, DIR. Carter, of Chattanooga,
and others. Governor Taylor had been
expected, but by noon telegram had
been received from him, stating that owing
TO rush of official business he could not be
present. About o'clock a fine dinner
was served on the campus, pic mic style,
after which the people listened to short,
witty and patriotic speeches from both
the Blue and the Gray. The Grand
Army of the Republic was we'll repres
ented and added greatly to the exercises
by engaging in Bellum tricks generally.

The Kinston Free Press says Mr..
Alfred Wingate was drowned at
Kelly's mill pond, near this place,
Sunday week.
The man was missel by his pso-
pie but they felt no uneasiness about
him till the next day. They then
found his fishing nets and tackle
missing, and going to the pond found
a boat with his coat and lot of fish
in it and made strict search for
his body, butlit could not be found.
They search for a week until it was
tound-the Sunday following the
one on which he was drowned.
1t is supposed that he was drunk
and fell out of the boat and was
drowned while in that condition.
He was poor man and drank
a good deal of liquor, but was res
puted to be honest. He leaves a
wife and two orsthree children.

BROOM Corn.

BROOM Corn.
The CITIZEN has had a good deal
to say in the past about the value
of broom corn, and it has nothing
to take back. There is a broom
factory here now.and our arguments
are strengthened. The farmers
have a market for a new product
and the factory keeps the money
at home to circulate here. Every
housekeeper must have a broom,
and the North sends them to us.
That's the way tho money goes.
On this subject the Lynchburg
AdOGnce says:
We know of no crop which will
pay :: the farmer better, or cost
less producing. The factory here
though yet in its incipiency, turns
out an average of fifty-ive dozen
brooms every days, and employs
about twenty-five hands, at good
wages. Many orders are on file
which it has been impossible to fill
With increased facilities, which will
soon be provided, the factory will
produce at least five times as many
and there is ready sale for all. Our
country friends will readily see the
value of broom c)rn as one of the
most valuable products of theil
farms, and we assure them they
cannot raise too much. 1T costs less
than tobacco is more easily raised
and handlsd, and pays much bet
ter profit.
Besides, it has been demonstrated
that we can raise better broom corr
here than can he imported from
abroad. Raise broom corn!

An erroneous statement of"Gath"
recently cited the case of Spartan
burg, South Carolina, an illustra-
ton of the immense growth of pro-
hibition in the South. The mis-
statement continues to 60 the round,
although it was some days ago cor
rected by our occasional correspon-
ent "Boggy" in letters to the Cincin
natl EnqLirer and The Star. The
fact is, that Spartanburg voted for
prohibition twice-"went dry" as
the local phrase goes-but, the ex-
pertinent proving detrimentalto bus.
mess, and ia ure as temperance
measure, it went wet" and voted
for license law at the most recent
election at which the question was
